The Inverell scrapheap charity ride is on in 4 weeks. We have an interesting route worked out taking in some great countryside so it should be a good day. Suitable for all road registered trail and adventure type bikes. Mostly dirt roads with a little tar here and there to get to the next bit of dirt.

We would like an idea of numbers, so please either post here or ring one of the numbers on the flyer below.

The planned route - heading south from Inverell. There are a couple of options here and there so it might change a little as we go.

Looks like Vince Strang and Ross Worgan will be the ride leaders.

We'll use a 2 man corner system so that nobody gets too far lost.
A couple of experienced Ambo first aiders will follow the ride just in case.
Lunch at Guyra. We have been offered a good deal by the Cafe there so you are encouraged to go with this.
Fuel at Inverell, Guyra and Glen Innes

Ross Worgan (Dieselquip Inverell) has donated these tools as a prize - thanks Ross. Other stuff to come.

For those interested in overnighting we will be having a After Ride Party at the Oxford Hotel. There will be a DJ playing older style music that I am sure will not get in the way of all the adventures and breakdowns stories that seem to appear after a few lemonades.

There has been a special request from Old Dog for "Morning Town Ride" by the Seekers. Checked with the DJ Bill. He cannot promise any thing but will try to get a copy just for you.

Last count, there is about 35 riders that have indicated that they are coming.

Rooms at the Oxford are going quickly so if you need one, get in quick.

If you need any more info, contact me via this thread or ring 0458255557.

Have had responses from as Mudgee, Sydney, Coff Harbour, Brisbane, Tamworth and Narribri to mention a few areas. Also a positive response from Inverell and district so begining to look like a big turnout.

Dont forget the after ride party where will be drawing the lucky entry prizes. Major prize is a $200 set of spanners with a heap of minor prizes also up for grabs. You will need to be present for the major prize but not for the minor ones.

G'day Col, well Pezz and I are definites, question though, should i mount mud tyres?
